And who dares to throw away such beauty?: 45 times people threw away excellent furniture (46 photos)

Have you ever had to wonder where to put good but no longer needed furniture? New Yorkers don't have this problem - they simply take it out onto the street, and some random passer-by instantly picks it up. This custom is called stooping (from “stoop”, porch), and it is dedicated to the Stooping NYC Instagram, where its authors regularly post the best finds. Here are some examples of the treasures you can find on the streets of the Big Apple.





“Stooping is so popular in New York because it's part of the culture of its people. Unlike the rest, New York is a temporary city, which means that people are constantly moving here. No apartment is like another, and therefore this custom of displaying items that are no longer suitable/necessary has existed for a long time,” explained the authors of the popular account.

“Stooping NYC is changing the way people think about giving discarded furniture new life. “We tried to make this activity look like a game, like a quest. I think this has made it popular and trendy among younger audiences (75% of our subscribers are between 18 and 35 years old),” they shared. Moreover, subscribers send them a huge amount of content: the creators said that on a weekday they receive hundreds, if not a thousand messages, and on weekends, especially at the end of the month, thousands of them pour into their personal messages.
